We need to talk about Cher at last night’s Billboard Music Awards

Everyone’s talking about Cher‘s performance at last night’s 2017 Billboard Music Awards show. The 71-year-old diva (she’s 71, y’all!) accepted the Billboard Icon Award, where she attributed much of her 50+ year career to luck:

“I think luck has so much to do with my success,” she said. “I think it was mostly luck with a little bit of something thrown in.”

She also wowed the crowd with not one but two of her greatest hits.

First, she lip-synced, er, sang 1998’s “Believe” while dressed in a white blonde wig and sequined jumpsuit with a heart over her left nipple. She followed that up with 1989’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” while rocking the original revealing one-piece bathing suit she wore in the music video:

Of course, the crowd went wild. Not just for the performances, but for how incredible she looked. During her speech, Cher implied yoga was her trick to keeping her body so amazing, telling the audience:

“I can do a five-minute plank, okay? Just saying.”

Then she thanked her mom for everything. So sweet.
